By Trevor Weis: Following the Ortiz/Maidana fight, Max Kellerman went on to say that “more is required in the sport of boxing than any other, maybe more than what is reasonable.” And even though we as boxing fans may not truly understand, still we demand more. After all, who is in need of a mediocre hero? Who cheers for the simply average athlete?

News – DeGale to Spar with Mayweather Jr.
By Scott Gilfoid: 2008 British Olympic Gold Medalist James DeGale (3-0, 2 KO’s) is reportedly excited about being able to spar with Floyd Mayweather Jr. DeGale will be sparring with Mayweather in Las Vegas as Floyd prepares for his September 19th fight against Juan Manuel Marquez. First of all, I think Mayweather is making a huge mistake of having DeGale as one of his sparring partner.
De La Hoya: “Marquez will beat Mayweather”
By Dave Lahr: In Oscar De La Hoya’s weekly blog, he’s predicting that Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KO’s) will beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25 KO’s), giving Floyd his first loss of his career in doing so. De La Hoya feels that the two years that Mayweather has been out of the ring, along with Floyd’s rib injury will lead to Marquez, 36, pulling off the upset at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Marquez vs. Mayweather: Is This a Scripted Fight?
By Chris Williams: If you’re like a lot of people, it’s hard to get excited about the September 19th fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Juan Manuel Marquez, because the fight is so much of a mismatch that the outcome seems scripted. Mayweather, 33, has everything going for him in this fight – height, reach, size, speed and power – and all that Marquez has is going for him is steadier work in the ring.
Mayweather-Marquez: Will Floyd Be His Usual Boring Self?
By Dave Lahr: On September 19th, I’m wondering which Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25 KO’s) will show up – sharp shooting welterweight or the painfully boring safety first runner. If history is any guide, we’ll be seeing Mayweather at his worse as he bores the pay-per-view audience to tears by avoiding any meaningful exchanges with Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4, 37 KO’s) and looks to win by the fight with a hunt and peck offensive style.
Marquez concerned About the Speed of Mayweather
By Jim Dower: Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KO’s) expressed concern with the speed of unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25 KO’s) in an conference call today, saying “Mayweather is coming with a lot of speed and that is always difficult to deal with.”
Mayweather vs. Marquez: Does Anyone Care?
By Chris Williams: Floyd Mayweather Jr. considers himself the number #1 fighter in boxing, even after two years away from the sport. He feels that he should still be considered tops despite not having thrown a punch in two years. It seems as if it doesn’t register with him that when a fighter has been out of action they are no longer considered to be the top fighter in the sport. On September 19th, Mayweather will be facing Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Mayweather vs. Marquez to be Shown in Movie Theaters – News
By Jim Dower: In a sign of how far Golden Boy Promotions is willing to go to try and make a buck of the September 19th fight between Juan Manuel Marquez and Floyd Mayweather Jr., the CEO of Golden Boy, Richard Schaefer, said that the Marquez-Mayweather event will be shown in 170 movie theaters around the United States on September 19th, according to Fight News.
Mayweather vs. Marquez: Here’s a reason Why it’s Good if Floyd Loses
By Adam Wells: Maybe the best thing to come from this upcoming bout with Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez would be a defeat to Floyd Mayweather. No not to dent the huge ego and not for the glory of his opponent but for us fight fans to finally see the best of Pretty Boy. From the moment he won his fist world title at junior lightweight (130lbs) against then champion Genaro Hernandez Floyd has been accused of “ducking” the best in favour of fights that would either suit his style or suit his pocket.
What Will Mayweather Do If He Loses To Marquez?
By Tom Stokes: Defeat to Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4, 37 KO’s) is probably the last thing on Floyd Mayweathers (39-0, 25 KO’s) mind, but at some point it must have passed through, he’s going in against the pound for pound No2, a tough tested fighter, who’s looking to cause an upset, and Mayweather hasn’t really been tested in the ring since Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KO’s) in may 2007.
